Many villages are in locations that are not well-connected to services like public transport and shopping centres, need upgrade work and are not meeting tenant satisfaction.

The council is proposing to partner with a third-party social housing provider to form a new Community Housing Provider (CHP).

For the consultation documents and forms go to http://shapeauckland.co.nz/consultations/housing-for-older-people/

Consultation runs from 9am Wednesday 1 June to 4pm Friday 1 July 2016 and feedback received will inform the council’s decision on whether to go ahead with this proposal.

Many villages are in locations that are not well-connected to services like public transport and shopping centres, need upgrade work and are not meeting tenant satisfaction.

The council is proposing to partner with a third-party social housing provider to form a new Community Housing Provider (CHP).
We think that, by changing the way we manage this portfolio, we can provide better housing for older people.

The new CHP will have expert input from the chosen partner and will be entitled to access the government Income Related Rent Subsidy (IRRS).
It will also consider and undertake refurbishment of the council’s current portfolio, over time, to improve its quality.
This will be carried out under a management agreement and a development agreement.

We’re asking Aucklanders, particularly those that may be in need of this service, whether they support this change.

The Statistics Department are currently consulting until June 30th on which questions to ask in the next census in 2018.  We encourage you to express your views and to take part in this consultation on their website www.stats.govt.nz/Census/2018-census. On this website they have listed 8 criteria to determine which questions to ask. The most important are: Does the proposed question add value to New Zealand’s society and economy? And will the proposed question produce quality information?

ADCOSS is seeking to keep the question on unpaid activities and add questions on housing and transport relevant to Auckland.

More information about our thoughts will be in the next ADCOSS newsletter.  In the mean time have your say.
